Abstract
The authors studied the relation between seizure-associated nose wiping (NW) and intracerebral EEG data in 32 patients. NW was more frequent in mesial temporal lobe seizures (TLSs; 65%) than in other TLSs (36%; p < 0.05) and in frontal lobe seizures (3%; p < 0.0001). It was associated with the presence of an amygdala discharge at seizure onset (p < 0.05) and with the recording of an ictal low-voltage fast activity within that structure (p < 0.05), supporting the role of an amygdala dysfunction in the pathophysiology of NW.
